For me, Pantera and Dimebag were a gateway into the world of metal. In fact, I'm listening to CFH as I type this. He was an innovator with his own type of playing that is completely unique to him. My thoughts are with his friends and family, as they will surely miss him too

So... you listen to 'metal' and your favourite band is BMTH. PLEASE **** OFF RIGHT NOW!!! It's for your own good, as well as ours.

Pantera was very much my introduction to metal as well, so I'll always hold them (and Dimebag) dear to my heart. A good few years before I first heard Metallica, Maiden, Megadeth or other such bands I now love. 'Walk' was the song, but it's not my favourite.

I hope Vinnie Paul is able to have a good rockin' time even on this day.

What tuning is the art of shredding in? I play what I think is the right riffs in e standard. My Jackson Rhoads is tuned a whole step down and sounds better for Pantera songs but it feels weird playing in that tuning.

E standard down 50 cents. A tuner on the android market called G-strings allows you to change the Hz. I change it from 440 to 425 and it sounds similar.
